Quite a dramatic finish today in Paris for the Tour de France 2009! Cavendish won the final stage in Paris, as his team, Columbia, outwitted Garmin once again. Cavendish should have won the green jersey but he was penalized a few stages ago, thereby giving Thor Hushovd the lead. Still, Cavendish won six stages which is more than any other British rider.

1st – Contador; 2nd – Andy Schleck; 3rd – Lance Armstrong
King of the Mountains (red peas jersey): Franco Pellizotti
Best young rider (white jersey): Andy Schleck
Best sprinter (green jersey): Thor Hushovd
